Malala opens Europe's largest public library
Description
ROUGH CUT (NO REPORTER NARRATION)
Malala Yousafzai, the teenaged Pakistan girl who was shot by the Taliban last year, formally opened Europe's largest public library in Birmingham on Tuesday (September 3).
Yousafzai was targeted for killing by the Taliban in October last year because of her campaign against the group's efforts to deny women education.
Yousafzai was flown to a hospital in Britain's second largest city for treatment following the attack and has since enrolled in a local school.
"It is a great honour for me to be here in Birmingham, the beating heart of England. Birmingham is very special for me, because it was here that I found myself alive seven days after I was shot. It is now my second home after my beloved Pakistan," said Yousafzai, after being presented with a membership card for the new library by Birmingham's Lord Mayor.
The 188 million pounds (293 U.S. dollars) building contains about a million books, access to a vast film and televi
